Love Marshawn. I'm borderline obsessed with him like I just be thinking about him! I know that's weird but it's true. Like when I walk to the bus stop I pretend I'm him and try to walk like I think he would walk. I just wanna be more like Marshawn.

I appreciate the man. He's rapidly closing in on #3 on my Hawk best RB list (about to over-take SA but still behind John L and CW). A good barometer of who he is in this league. It's frequent that you see an opposing player helping him to his feet. All players love this guy. He is the epitome of old school NFL football.

Amen! I lurk and don't post often, but ever since he's joined the Hawks, there's an undeniable element of ferocity that has come with him. The fact that opposing defenses have to account for him when he's on the field makes everything else that much more possible and successful.

Marshawn - Thank you for everything you bring to this team and each and every game! You may not seek the limelight, but the fans know and respect how important you are to the Hawks.

I have concerns for you. I am not very religious, But you have forced me to pray for you. I wonder how Marshawn prays?

It is those 5 yarders on first down when everyone know he is getting the ball. Gets hit after a yard and a half, carries two, three guys for another 3 yards, and has 8 defenders on him and still won't go down, pushes for another yard and the refs mercifully blow the whistle.

My favorite Beast Mode moments are the short runs where he pushes the pile, or breaks through what looks like a done deal. Like the Giants game with CBJ playing QB and Marshawn pushed that pile of Giants 6 yards! That was amazing! And the Philadelphia game where he came out of the pile and scored a TD.

And then there are the ones where it looks like he is stopped, and he lunges forward for another yard or three. Love the man, love the way he runs and you can see the power in those legs in the way he walks. Amazing.

I appreciated ML earlier in this thread. But after watching a recording of the 04 "we want the ball and we are going to score" game last nite, I appreciate him even more today. No knock on SA, but he sure didn't run like ML.

Wasn't that great? At the time I was screaming "go to the right". When he didn't I assumed there was some defender over there. But after the game the press picked up on his "statement" about how he intentionally ran right through the defense like a freakin' bowling ball! Priceless.

Can I just say...I LOVE that we sign Marshawn to a huge deal and then he has a career year.

I love that we finally have players who don't disappear of the face of the earth after signing big deals. Clemons and Unger too. But Marshawn is at the forefront since he is the face of the team (at least he was until Wilson started sharing it with him).

He is such a huge part of this team, and what we are trying to do. Nobody, other than maybe AP, runs as hard at Lynch. This guy has it all, and helps us keep that clock running. Pound the rock until they can't take it anymore in the 4th Quarter.
